Designed for officials and referees, these solutions now cover all games and competitions, thanks to kits installed permanently in the stadiums and mobile VOKKERO ELITE kits, which can be adapted to all venues and all officiating procedures. 

VOGO provides a turnkey service by training refereeing teams and providing physical assistance for the first 15 matches, followed by remote assistance throughout the competitions.
